The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove
5.0
I bought this book because of its cover, I love maps and cardinal roses and a nice deckled edge. It called to me from the bottom row in the children's section at Barnes and Nobles. I had to have it! So I bought it after only skimming the jacket.
It must have been divine intervention that lead me to the book because I devoured this book! There is so much going for it. An interesting steampunk vibe. A series of religions with rules and backstories to make Brandon Sanderson proud. A plucky heroine who has a problem with time. Missing parents, a kidnapped uncle, and new friend found covered in feathers at a circus. It was a glorious read. Yes it was a little predictable and some of the key details should have been fleshed out a little bit more but over all an addicting read. Also I really think that this is a book more appropriate for Young Adult than Middle Grade. There are some terrifying moments and a madwoman. So use caution if you are looking at this for children. 14+ is my reccomendation.
(I have been watching a lot of Murdoch Mysteries on Netflix. Yannick Bisson would make a great Shadrack)
Read the book!
